1. A successful diet plan is one that makes sure that you know the difference between going on a "diet" and creating good habits for yourself. Good habits like exercising and eating well shouldn't be things you do when you go on a "diet". Instead, these habits are the only things that will keep you lean and mean.
2. A successful diet plan is one that works with you on a consistent basis to mark the small goals and successes throughout your quest to become lean. Not a group that only marks goals by the losses of 10 to 20 pounds in a week, but a group that applauds a few pounds per week on a consistent basis.
3. A successful diet plan is one that gets you in a consistent exercise routine to work out all different parts of your body. Different people gain weight in different areas, just working out the areas that are most popular won't help everybody.
4. A successful diet plan is one that works with you throughout the early stages of the process to plan meals and determine what is and isn't working for you. Everyone is unique and there is no way of knowing what will work for one and won't work for another. Long periods of trial and error are needed.
5. A successful diet plan is one that provides a network of peers or professionals that work with you constantly to define your goals. The only way to completely avoid losing any weight or not achieving your goals is to not have any in the first place.
6. A successful diet plan is one that gives you the price of the process right up front to make sure you can afford it. This is a field that preys on the weak by offering countless promises that never pan out. An up front presentation of fees or one-time charge will let you know that they have the same goal as you, for you to lose weight.
7. A successful diet plan is one that doesn't tell you that exercise is unnecessary beyond that which you do at work on a daily basis. If you are consistently gaining weight and eating right, then you obviously need to exercise to burn what you are taking in.
8. A successful diet plan is one that understands that a calorie deficit is the only true way to lose weight that will keep it off for a long time. Not starvation, not a pill or a shake, but good work to stay just below what your calorie intake should be to stay at a decent weight.
9. A successful diet plan is one that explains to you that eating three big meals a day will not help you achieve your goals. Eating more frequent meals while eating less at each setting will allow your body to digest the food better and build your metabolism to a healthy level.
10. A successful diet plan is one that works. I know that sounds cheesy, hokey, and maybe a cheap point to make, but it is the god's honest truth. If your diet isn't working then it may not be what is successful for you. Don't give up and don't give in, just let the next one begin!
